An LLP is required to file certain mandatory returns whether it does the business or not. Non- filing of due returns will attract penalties and prosecution under the LLP Act and the designated partners are liable to face the same action. Cessation of operation cannot be a reason for non-filing of returns; an LLP continues to exist until its formal closure. An LLP being a separate legal entity registered under law, it is mandatory to be closed as stipulated under the LLP Act.
An LLP fulfilling the following conditions can file an application for striking off its name from the Register of LLP.
